The Thing I Miss About L.a. Is

My Dad Had This Philosophy That If You Tell Children They're Beautiful And Wonderful Then They Believe It, And They Will Be. So I Never Thought I Was Unattractive. But I Was Never One Of The Girls At School Who Had Lots Of Boyfriends.

I Want To Discover More Things About Acting.

I'm Physically Completely Mal-coordinated. My Best Friend Used To Make Me Run For The Bus Just To Give Herself A Quick, Cheap Laugh Because I Definitely Don't Have That Sophisticated Cool Thing Down.

The Ratings Thing Is The Real Issue. It Really Hurts Movies. For Example, In Redbelt, I Smoked. The Whole Plot Of My Character Was Based On The Fact That I Was A Smoker. And Then They Discovered That Just By Having Someone Smoking In The Movie, It Immediately Makes The Rating An R. So They Had To Cut Out Every Shot Where I Had A Cigarette In My Hand And It Totally Affected The Performance. That Was Very Frustrating To David Mamet As Well. I Can Remember Him Saying, "it's A Nightmare."

I'm An Optimist By Nature, Myself, I Think.
